About this artwork
I created "Trifecta" in 2018. Horses, and the shapes and colors of horses in particular, are one of the most interesting to draw or paint for an artist. In this runaway scene, three race horses and their riders sprint out on the home stretch at the Pimlico Raceway in Baltimore, Maryland for a possible trifecta before a crowd of race enthusiasts. The white horse in the center (#7) looks to have the edge as the chestnut horse on the right and its jockey…
strive hard to make their move from 2nd place. The dark brown horse on the left (#4) shows promise for a 3rd place showing. This sport painting reveals the geometric abstraction approach that characterizes artist David Ralph's "Geoformist" style.
David Ralph
United States
David Ralph is a contemporary artist who lives in Greenbelt, Maryland, USA. About twenty-five years ago, David had a vision to create a series of abstract watercolor paintings that explored the female figure through curve, line, and a composition of varying shapes of color, value, and pattern. This exploration led to a distinctive style that has shaped David’s unique brand of painting ever since. In trying to describe and categorize his style of art, David Ralph has coined the term “Geoformism”. According to David, Geoformism is defined as a style of contemporary abstract art that focuses on the form of a subject (or object) and its underlying geometric essence. It contains elements of both geometric abstraction and figurative realism. Today, David continues to create abstract compositions of the female figure as well as other themes of interest such as nature, music, landscape, sports, politics/people, and cityscapes.
